... Yes! See my earlier reply, and one of the pictures I have posted on the Photos page. It's not really possible to post 'code snippets' since it depends...
Hello all, I've just joined this group and having built an arbiter a few years back mainly to help me identify the addresses of all my 1 wire devices scattered...
Hello Phil, Problem solved - totally happy :-) The problem was a bad bc557 transistor, don´t ask me why! The board i working perfectly.... Many thanks for...
... Well, as far as I am aware, if the third LED is flashing periodically, as you say, then the sensor is operational and the system is working ok. If you are...
... As I think I mentioned previously, I don't actually use Hotbox so I may be talking nonsense, but I suspect that, if all the probes are enabled in the .ini...
... But NO data shows same problem with hotbox ... Only a couple that might seem obvious - but worth checking anyway! Are you sure your TX and Rx are the right...
Hello, I can`t see any data from the arbiter why? When I connect it to the computer using hyperterminal it starts to poll (Led 1 Steady) (Led 2 Blinking) (Led...
I have a single probe attached to the hardware. I can drag it to any part of rhe screen. But i would like to that before i could get this +0.0 i had to edit...
willieghettoman ... hot box display just stays at +0.0 ... this is the data inside the .ini file for the c;\hotbox. please any further contributions would be...
... this is the data inside the .ini file for the c;\hotbox. please any further contributions would be highly appreciated. am glad the hardware responds...
Greetings all I've just been testing HotBox with Vista. I see that "dragging" hotbox.exe to the desktop works. (Applications that are run from the download...
Hi Phil  I had an issue with Hotbox not working on a Windows XP machine (although I did get serial data with hyperterminal). I was opening Hotbox from within...
... On the first point, Bill, I did this by using a four-inch length of 15mm copper pipe and soldering an end cap onto one end. At the other end, I soldered a...
PLEASE I LIKE TO SEEK FOR SOLUTIONS I JUST FINISHED MY ARBITER 3 DAYS AGO AND THE HOTBOX DOSENT WORK BUT WHEN I USED SERIAL WATCHER I GET DATA FROM THE HOT...
I plan on deploying my sensors into the 250 gallon storage tank, as well as inside the solar panel on the roof. What is the best way to waterproof these...
... professionally and sold at cost if there were enough people interested - and if Nick didn't mind? I have no problem with that idea. Have a Max232 on it...
... Hi Bill - I'm keeping this public as I guess it may be of interest to others looking at the arbiter et al. No, the interface was written in VB. Hotbox was...
That is exactly what I had in mind; numerous sensors all displayed on a screen with the process layout depicted. It looks fantastic! -Did you create your user...
Thanks Phil. Maybe I can get some assistance once I get started! I am really new to electronics and programming. I bought a Basic Stamp to learn both. The...
... Definitely! I do exactly this. I have three sensors on the solar panels (actually banks of tubes) two where the primary comes into the tank, several in...
I am thinking about building one of these to control my solar thermal heating system (turn ON pump to panels, when panel temp = tank temp +15 degrees). Would...
Like I said, I`m just preparing to make my own temperature logger. So I haven`t made the arbiter and I didn`t try any conections. I just tried hotbox itself....
